Central Connecticut freshmen Kristen Malski and Sam Smolicz

Smolicz was tabbed Diver of the Week for their performances at the

At the Sonny Werblin Invite, Malski swam to a third-place finish
in the 100 breaststroke, pacing the Blue Devils with a time of
1:08.87. The freshman also took sixth place in the 200
breaststroke, clocking in at 2:32.08. Malski helped CCSU's 200
medley relay squad take fifth place in 1:53.72.

Smolicz was CCSU's top diver in both board events at the Sonny
Werblin Invitational this past weekend. The newcomer took sixth
place in the three-meter, while placing eighth in the one-meter
dive.

The Blue Devils will continue competition when Central hosts the
